Month: February 2015

In our efforts to motivate as many people as possible to leave the car for a day and join in our Car-Free Days, Climate Change Centre Reading (CCCRdg) has taken a huge lap forward by campaigning for Car-Free Days until the end of the year.

Yes, we are proud of announcing CCCRdg supporting the Join the Car-Free Work-Day Bloc @ Time To Act National Climate March!

BREAKING: Please see our press release below, we hope you will find the piece interesting,

A regular car-free work-day in Reading and UK could fuel an International monthly Car-Free Work-Day which could be an astonishing example of traffic development and public realm. Reading has great potential to embrace the sustainable pathway and become a British role-model in climate change (the air is our all urban common) to honour a successful climate change agreement taking place in Paris December 2015.

Time To Act!
National climate march, London

The peoples Climate March last September was huge. Around the world hundred of thousands took to the streets and together made history.
2015 needs to be even bigger. The UN climate talks in Paris this December are crucial if we’re going to protect all that we love. So far the pledges on the table are nowhere near enough.

Across the UK people are already building change – from divestment of funds which prop up the fossil fuel industry, to frontline communities fighting unsustainable energy extraction and fracking, through to those paving the way for a transition towards a 100% renewable energy future which would bring about an estimated one million new climate jobs in the UK alone. We know what needs to be done, the solutions are here now. Climate has got to be at the top of every politician’s agenda.
The movement is growing, and we’re more diverse and more determent than ever before. Join us two months before the election for a mass demonstration and wake-up call.
Sign up in our Car-Free Work-Day Bloc march on the 7th March to make the link between climat change and switching to zero carbon fuels. Put the climate on the agenda ahead of the 2015 General Elections and the December 2015 Paris United Nations COP21 climate talks – https://www.facebook.com/events/632679746859395/
